Session....Really??

Post by BlackDuck »

I believe the term "session" has officially been taken out of context.

Shmaltz Brewing has introduced a Session Double IPA. Really??? What is so sessionable about a beer that comes in at 8%?

I don't get it either but I can say that I've been a big fan of all the Shmaltz beers I've had but lately, I don't see any around so maybe they've stopped distributing.
Did you buy any?

Maybe they should've called it a "Double Session Double IPA" ?
For their next trick, they're probably perfecting their Black White Ale recipe.

Yup...nothing more than an overuse of a term in a bad attempt a good marketing.

They won't be happy until their Double IPA redefines the term session beer.

May have to look for this brew in the candy store this coming weekend. I like a good session brew. AND I like sometimes a high abv beverage.
